What are facts about King Edgar Atheling?

hi i had 2 do some history home work about that but insted i did this (its not finished yet)

Edgar the atheling was the last prince of the old West Saxon (Wessex) royal line when Edward the Confessor died in January 1066. The word atheling means "noble son" and indicated he was of royal blood because he was the son of the king. However, when Edward the Confessor died, Edgar was only about ten years old and was passed over when it came to inheriting the throne which went to Harold Godwinson instead, who went to rule England as King Harold II .He was a member of the Saxon royal family. He and his father had a strong claim to the throne. Edgar's father died in suspicious circumstances in 1054. Despite having the closest blood relation to Edward the Confessor he was too young. He did have the support of some nobles. Edgar Atheling was the only legitimate heir and claimant to the English throne (he was the great-nephew of King Edward the Confessor). By legal rights, Edgar was the only person who could be considered as the successor (and he was declared as by the Witan after Harold's death). Unfortunately, he was only 14 years of age in 1066. He was unable to repel William of Normandy's invasion of England and was forced to submit. He attempted, in 1069, to win the throne with Scottish and Danish support.After William's death Edgar joined Malcolm in raiding England in 1091, but after that he seems to have been at peace with William II of England. He led the English expedition that in 1097 dethroned Donald III and seated the Atheling's nephew Edgar (1107) on the throne of Scotland. The Atheling went on the crusade of 1099 with Robert II, duke of Normandy, and later fought for Robert against Henry I of England.

William won because he had archers and calavary to shatter the saxon shield wall and one of Williams archers shot Harold in the eye and the rest of his men riot and fled the battle feild with only a few hundred

and ....

William was more properly ready and this was harolds second fight of the day. some of harolds best fighters had died in the battle of the stamford bridge

Reasons why William won:

-luck, the arrow which hit Harold, harvest time so some of the fyrd went home, storm which forced Harold into the hands of William, the fake retreats, arrival of hadraada, William survived the blow, wind blowing the opposite way accross the cannel,

-harolds weaknesses, untrained fyrd, lack of control, no calvery/archers, rused into battle, failed to defend coast, tactically unflexible,

-Williams strengths, brave, professional force, well equiped, tactically aware,

-Tostig and hadraada, the battle at stamford bridge led Harold to becoming too confident, harolds army was tired, Harold had to leave the south ungarded, Harold lost a 1/3 of his housecarls

What does senlac hill mean?

I got this from wikipedia and I think it's right - I'm using it for my homework so hopefully it is!

It said originally in Old English it was called 'Santlache' or defined as "Sandy Stream". However when the Normans invaded they renamed it 'Sanguelac' or better known as "Blood Lake" which was later shrotened to Senlac Hill as we now know it today. It was 84m above sea level before the top of the ridge was levelled off to create Battle Abbey.

How far did Williams army have to come to get to battle?

The battleground was six or eight miles from an encampment William's army had just set up in Hastings, so it was not a long march, especially considering how far the Anglo Saxons had to march, which was hundreds of miles.

William's army was mostly made up of men from Normandy, France, and Flanders, who had arrived to points across the channel from their homes by whatever means. Some came from as far as southern Italy, so as individuals, they had travelled varying distances.
